In the simplest form, you'll know when you need an A/C recharge if your A/C starts pumping warm air instead of cold. There is a very limited amount of refrigerant in the system, and when even a small amount leaks, the system can no longer function properly, delivering warm air instead of cold air.

This is sometimes called a flooded evaporator, a problem that will also leave you with warm air. As the system continues to try to modulate the expansion valve or cycle the compressor, the flow rate of the refrigerant can normalise, which is when you might notice the air temperature cooling again. 

Is your car cranking slowly or having trouble starting? These are both signs that your battery is on its way out. If the battery has been in service for five years, you should consider replacing it even if it still starts the engine. Over time batteries lose their ability to hold a charge due.

The elements that constitute the battery are sensitive to certain driving styles. For example, if you frequently drive short distances using an engine-on/engine-off approach, the battery will be unable to replenish its energy reserves, which will result in a shorter life span.
